"A tale of the Christmas holidays on the banks of the Shannon, intended to show, by the conduct of a party of young people, that rashness and disobedience are no proofs of courage. It should be widely spread, for the spirit of the little book is excellent. The engravings are appropriate and pleasing."—Plymouth Journal.
